Pluto's distance from the sun varies in a periodic way that can be modeled approximately by a trigonometric function. Pluto's maximum distance from the sun (aphelion) is 7.47.47, point, 4 billion kilometers. Its minimum distance from the sun (perihelion) is 4.44.44, point, 4 billion kilometers. Pluto last reached its perihelion in the year 198919891989, and will next reach its perihelion in 223722372237. Find the formula of the trigonometric function that models Pluto's distance DDD from the sun (in billion \text{km}kmstart text, k, m, end text) ttt years after 200020002000. Define the function using radians.

In new york city at the spring equinox there are 12 hours 8 minutes of daylight. the longest and shortest days of the year very by two hours and 53 minutes from the equinox in this year the equinox falls on march 21 in this task you use trigonometric function to model the hours of daylight hours on certain days of the year in new york city a. what is the independent and dependent variables? b. find the amplitude and the period of the function. c. create a trigonometric function that describes the hours of sunlight for each day of the year. d. graph the function you build in part c. e. use the function you build in part c to find out how many fewer daylight hours february 10 will have than march 21. you may look at the calendar.
